Lynsey & Matt

St Mary's Pleasance in Haddington was such a special place for me to photograph Lynsey, Matt and their son, as my own wedding photoshoot took place there! The gardens are full of lots of fascinating places to explore, and the star of our show had such a great time running around looking at everything, as toddlers do.

This shoot involved a lot of chasing after the little one and finding the best angles to capture all of the exploration taking place! I'm sure I had as much fun as he did.

We opted almost entirely for candid shots, as when toddlers have just found their feet it can be incredibly difficult to hold onto them! This allowed our shoot to be fun for everyone.
